This is tragic.
He was a real salts of the earth sort of guy. Loved talking about the stocks, his dad's career and heavy weight title fighters, but mainly about the stock market.
Could have never picked this.
Just tragic

Terrible news, loved tucky and also part of the PRE Tuck farce.
First thoughts are with family, I believe his hawks brother was doing it tough also.
Society needs to sort itself out, to many people suffering and being sad isn't enough, very flat!

Very sad ,
As a player , jeez he put his body on the line for us when we were ordinary , week after week ,
and in some ways you admire that more than players doing it in the successful teams , it would be so easy to start thinking whats the point ? not him

Incredibly sad news. An admired Tiger, respected by all true fans of the game. Such a shame that many of the club players and officials who knew Shane well and are interstate won't be attending his funeral. Deepest sympathy to his family and friends. RIP champ.
I remember watching Shane play at Coburg. Leaning against the grandstand wall, not far where from where Fay and Michael were also standing, the old man quietly having a beer as they followed his every move.
You could see that he was as hard as a cats head and would give his all, and he did. So sad, vale Tucky❤

Hence the great Tuck farce of early 2011. We were going rubbish and Tucky was burning it up in the Magoos but Dimma wouldn't play him. Then he eventually got a crack in a game against North and we won. Tucky played well and I reckon my first post after the game was:
No Tuck no Richmond!
Anyway, Tucky was a legend. Loved him. RIP mate.

Thanks Mate
My fondest memory of Tuck was when we were up against the Dawks at the G, 10 years ago or so, and they were pantsing us and dishing out the physical at our youngsters quite a bit.
Tucky stepped into a sideline "maul" and with a few jumper punches and a sternum "heel palm" or two restored a bit of fairness to the equation and the game continued.
Was good to see a bit of physicality going the other way for one.
RIP Tucky!

One night I stumbled out of YOUNG AND Jacksons and wandered down Swanston St and spotted a young bloke taking a breather leaning up against a pole. Tucky it was and so I stopped for a chat. Turns out it was JDT night and he had placed high. Said that was thoroughly deserved exchanged the easy small talk two over refreshed blokes do before heading off our seperate ways into the night.
This might seem a strange question right now but I have been reading a lot of articles about Tucky and was just wondering if he wore a hearing aid?
In a lot of the photos I have seen of him as a player over the last few days I have noticed he often had a large wad of sticking plaster in his ears.
If not a hearing aid, does anyone know why?

I think he might have the old cauliflower ear that caused some pain when hit. One club tried to dob us in to the AFL for being wired for sound, but the coached laughed it off saying it was just protective tape.
